Small classrooms and a talented faculty prepare students for the college experience ahead.

A comprehensive, college preparatory education which develops well-rounded individuals

Building on the St. Andrew's Middle School program, the faculty designs a developmentally appropriate curriculum, which incorporates sequential skill development for the Upper School program, for students in Grades 9-12. The staff counsels students to choose the courses that maximize successful learning, and teachers address the diverse learning styles and ability needs of individuals on a day-to-day basis.

The Upper School program supports students by means of individual attention and a structured, school-wide exchange of information. Students, advisors, teachers, parents, and administrators collaborate to foster students' self-awareness, self-confidence, and pursuit of excellence. Communication is an essential component of the Upper School program.

The Upper School program provides a comprehensive, college preparatory education which develops well-rounded individuals. Each year, students must fulfill academic requirements, including religion, while satisfying requirements in the arts, physical education, and community service. The program promotes educational excellence in a supportive but rigorous atmosphere that seeks to nurture and challenge students. The courses and activities in the program offer students opportunities for success, while promoting hard work, personal responsibility, spiritual growth, and contributions to the school and the larger community. The Upper School program prepares students for college and for lifelong learning.
